Tony Curtis Nathan is a former running back who played college football at the University of Alabama and was selected in the third round (61st overall) of the 1979 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins, with whom he played from 1979 to 1987. During high school, Tony Nathan became one of the first black football players at Woodlawn High School. The story of his high school career was made into a film known as Woodlawn. It was released on Oct. 16, 2015. Nathan was the Miami Dolphins' starting running back in Super Bowl XVII and Super Bowl XIX. He finished his nine NFL seasons with 3,543 yards rushing, 383 receptions for 3,592 yards, and 32 touchdowns (16 each rushing and receiving).

Fulfilling a promise he made to Bear Bryant in 1979, Nathan returned to finish his degree at Alabama in 2015. Also in 2015, Touchdown Tony: Running with a Purpose which was written by Nathan was published as a tie-in with the release of the movie Woodlawn which depicted his time at Woodlawn High School.

Hey friends - it's Pastor Emily from Woodlawn Methodist. In case you are looking for reading material/some Jesus inspiration in these days of staying at home, I've put some devotional books out on our porch. There are a few Lenten books that members of our church wrote, and several others. You are free to take what looks good to you. Also, don't forget about our Little Free Pantry in the parking lot by the alley - if you have extra to share, put some in; if you are in need, take some out. 139 54th Street North
Hey Woodlawn Family! It's the last Woodlawn Street Market of 2019 and we would love for you to come visit with us! What a great time to come hang out enjoying dance, music & food. Also a chance to visit with vendors in search of gifts for your family & friends AND shop local in your historic Woodlawn Business District.
Last Woodlawn Street Market for 2019!
Come hang out with us while enjoying the music, dance and food of the market. Take time to visit with our vendors to buy gifts for your family & friends and support your local Woodlawn business community!
Sad to report there was a grey pitbull that had been hit and killed by a car on 1st Avenue North just before 68th Street right before Woodlawn High School and the interstate. The dog was wearing a blue leash. Not sure if it broke off it's chain or broke away from it's owner.

She called Streets and Sanitation to pick it up but not sure they have yet. The Humane Society doesn't pick up deceased animals. So sorry for the owners. Beautiful dog.
Neighbors: The photo below is of a dog who was riding in the cab of an 18 wheeler on I-20 West where I-20 joins 59 on the ramp of what is called, dead man's curve in front of Forest Hill Cemetery, when the truck was involved in a serious accident.

The dog's name is Bailey and the owners have been in the hospital since the accident. The owners are from Arizona so, completely unfamiliar with this area. After the accident, the dog was seen going into the woods close to where the accident happened and in front of Forest Hill Cemetery.

This dog has been out on it's own for a week. Most likely hiding in one of the abandoned houses and scrounging for food, most likely at night. We don't know if the poor dog was injured or just frightened.

We believe because the dog spent so much time with it's owners, that it most likely has not moved far from the area, as dogs stay close to the last place they saw their people when something happens and the dog most likely visits the area of the accident at least once a day waiting for his/her people.

PLEASE KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THIS DOG AND IF YOU SEE THE DOG, CALL OR TEXT THEIR NIECE, KATIE POWELL AT: 205-356-4349.

I am also sharing the LOST poster as well as a story that was done about the dog by a local TV station in comments section below.

PLEASE HELP THIS COUPLE FIND THEIR BELOVED DOG.

I am also going to share this on the Woodlawn Community pages.

Thank you in advance for helping this couple find their dog.
Woodlawn United Methodist Church as a new Little Free Pantry in our parking lot closest to the alley. It's a gray shed under the big tree. It's a sharing pantry. If you have non-perishable food (produce, dairy, meats) to give, then place them in the pantry. If you need some food, then check the pantry for items. You don't have to come to the church door to ask - just give and take.
Congrats Club Duq Johnston. We are happy to have you in Woodlawn.
The YWCA Woodlawn Family Resource Center is having a family cooking class tonight if anyone is interested. It is free and focused on healthy living. Let me know if you would like to be added to the list!
